I (JuJu) have proposed this race so that SOLers can race against us as we sail my friend Simon Jonson's Dufour 40 from Chichester Harbour to Corunna, breaking at L'aber Wrach in Brittany.

Pictures of Zeno here


We will be using my Spot tracker hopefully to put Zeno's position on the SOL race

there are only 2 of us, so we will probably sail fairly cautiously (e.g. reef down a bit at night). We'd love to hear SOLers strategies for us before we go, we have a thuraya satphone on board but it only does voice/text messages.

we Simon and I enjoyed our part in the races. you can see some pictures here.

and the track here.

I hope you did not mind us going into cruising mode -- the real wind was too light when we left the Isle of Wight behind, so we motored. We also thought we had a weather window and rushed to get out of L'aber Wrac'h (including shooing a douanier away) on the right tide for Chanel du Four to try to get in a weather window that closed on us.

My SPOT tracker is available for anyone else to borrow who wants to do a similar real life race (in Europe).

The link for spot adventure didn't work for me. I did go to "home" on Spot Adven. and found the track by going through "Find Adventure" > "Sailing" (under Water)> then "sort by date". Your trip was the 6th one down.

The URL I had on the page with your track is: http://www.spotadventures.com/trip/view?trip_id=252616

The URL probably changes with different IPs.

Correct Jack, I finally managed to work out how to get the full track there and deleted the old ones

The Vineyard Race 2025


For the first time since first hosting a virtual Vineyard in cooperation with Long Island's Stamford Yacht Club back in 2010, due to an operational calendaring error, Sailonline has missed the start of the real life race, the USA’s Labor Day weekend this year unusually falling across the turn of August. Silly SOL! So, a week late please join us anyway for a virtual rerun of Stamford’s iconic annual overnighter from their club line out the sound to Buzzard's Bay Light near Martha's Vineyard Island and back again, leaving Block Island to starboard. This year, Sailonline is making its magic MC 38 available to competitors, a race boat with a quirky polar that will require you to stay wide awake as you speed around the c 250 nm course, in rockstar style!

Great Nicobar to Marion Island 2025

The Adventure Continues – Leg #6 of the RWW Series.
We’re setting sail on the next stage of the RWW Series: a 4,400-nautical-mile passage from Great Nicobar to Marion Island. This demanding leg will test endurance, strategy, and seamanship at the highest level. As part of the 2025 Ocean Championship, this marks the ninth legendary challenge in the series — and one of the most exhilarating yet. The race will be contested aboard the Archer 78’ ketch, a vessel built to push sailors to their limits across the vast Indian Ocean.
